Get psycho, I wanna get psycho
Get psycho, I wanna wanna wanna wanna, I wanna get psycho

Run you little bitch
I want your power glowing, juicy flowing, red hot, meaning of life
It's not enough to have a little taste
I want the whole damn thing now
Can you dig it?

Need to get psycho
Wanna hear you say it
Say, you want it, need it
Don't wanna wait until we finish the show
It's not enough, you hunger for more
You're one twisted little fuck
And now you wanna get psycho with me

Give in, give in, decide
Give in, give in, give in, decide
(Give in) give in, give in, decide
Give in, give in, give in, decide
Give in

Get psycho, I wanna get psycho
Get psycho, I wanna wanna wanna wanna, I wanna get psycho

Scratch my itch
Give me your power glowing, juicy flowing red hot, meaning of life
It's not enough to have a little piece
I want the whole damn thing now
Can you dig it?

Need to get psycho
Wanna hear you scream
Tell me to take you, scare you, fuck you
After we finish the show
It's not enough, you listening whore?
You're one twisted little fuck
And now you wanna get psycho with me

Give in, give in, decide
Give in, give in, give in, decide
(Give in) give in, give in, decide
Give in, give in, give in, decide
Give in

I can feel the blood, flowing through my veins
Spilling on my soul
And now the hunger's getting bigger
Come a little closer now pretentious whore and pull my trigger
Free the violence that is building in me
I say now end of the ride, murder suicide
Is how I've been feelin' lately
Come a little closer my pretentious whore I'm living with a feeling that I can't ignore
Come a little closer my pretentious whore I'm living with a feeling that I can't ignore
Come a little closer my pretentious whore I'm living with a feeling that i can't ignore
And the need to get psycho is not a question to me

Get, get, get, get, get psycho
Get, get, get, get, I wanna get psycho
Get, get, get, get, get psycho
Get, get, get, get, I wanna, wanna, wanna
Get psycho
Get, get, get, get, I wanna get psycho
Get, get, get, get, get psycho
Get, get, get, get, I wanna get psycho
I wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna

    OMG People... you over analyze everything!

    He's talking about getting fucked! Plain and simple! And he's too damn smart for his own good because this song is enough to turn on every woman that listens to it!

    If you knew anything about his reputation with women... you wouldn't question this song at all. His nic-name is "McDavid... billions and billions served"!

    My Interpretation

    I think he uses sex as a metaphor for desire and craving for power.David has said in many interviews that his music is meant to empower people and help them get through difficult times.He uses sex because lust is one of the feelings strong enough to be compared to the need of power.I got this idea because of he said "listening whore" I think that shows the desire for the music itself and in the end when he said "I'm living with a feeling that i can't ignore" about suicide and that you "need to get psycho" I think this is exactly how the music helps you get over a problem it gets you psycho it helps you express all the feelings of anger,frustration and disappointment.And about what he said it "Encourages Existentialism" I think it concerns his music in general and that inspires individualism.In fact if you go on youtube and seach why they got the name disturbed you'll find out it was because their music was aimed at people who were more individual and unique and the public regards them as disturbed.

    Pls reply and say if you share my point and think my interpretation is coherent :P

    Sex, to put it in one word. I think this song may be about groupie bitches and even girls in general. Give in, decide because sex is what a guy needs to live sanely.

    In Europe it was named "Get Psycho", in the US it was "Meaning of Life"

    it seems to me that this is about killing someone after stalking and raping them.the whole ass meaning does sound about right,but i think the juciy flowing,red hot meaning of life is the blood of the victim.

    I think it's a song about going crazy and wanting to commit suicide. Wanting to find the whole point of life and not have to wait until he finally dies.

    This is about a rape and murder. He talks about of the pure adrenaline of sex and killing. His victim runs, he tells them to "give in" and he catches his prey. He then kills himself.

Step
Ministry
Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
